The yields of the edible wild berries in Central Finland
A study on wild berry-bearing plants was made in five municipalities in Central Finland during 1978â81. Yield of lingonberry ( L.) was 8.0 kg/ha of forest area. Bilberry ( L.) produced 4.3 kg/ha and black crowberry ( coll. L.) 1.5 kg/ha. Lingonberry comprised 40%, bilberry 27% and black crowberry 14...

| Summary: | A study on wild berry-bearing plants was made in five municipalities in Central Finland during 1978â81. Yield of lingonberry ( L.) was 8.0 kg/ha of forest area. Bilberry ( L.) produced 4.3 kg/ha and black crowberry ( coll. L.) 1.5 kg/ha. Lingonberry comprised 40%, bilberry 27% and black crowberry 14% of the total berry yield. Any other species produced less than 10% of the total yield. Lingonberry produced high yield in clear-cut areas and in old Scots pine dominated forests but bilberry production was restricted almost completely to old sparse forests.Vaccinium vitis-idaeaVaccinium myrtillusEmpetrum nigrum |
